William Hill to operate Penn National sports book in Nevada

Sports book operator William Hill will operate the race and sports book at the M Resort Spa Casino in Henderson, Nev., which is owned by Wyomissing-based Penn National Gaming Inc.

Subject to regulatory approval, William Hill expects to assume operation of the race and sports book in May. It will extend William Hill’s presence in Nevada to a market-leading 115 sports books.

William Hill also provides sports betting technology and risk management services to Penn National Gaming properties in Mississippi, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

“We are delighted to be teaming up with William Hill at M Resort,” said Ameet Patel, senior vice president of regional operations for Penn National, in a statement. “We have an active sports book at M Resort and we think our guests will benefit greatly from William Hill’s expertise.”
